Personally, All I Ever Want To Be

My Biggest Goal Was - I Thought, God, If I Could Just Be A Rep Company Member At The Arena Stage In Washington, D. C. And Get To Play A Bunch Of Parts In A Year! And Now In My Work Everything Is About Promoting It. It's Not About The Doing Of It! Everything Is: You Have To Sell It, And They Ask You To Tweet About It Or Do Photo Shoots, Even For The Smallest Job. There's An Imbalance In Terms Of What Is Actually Gratifying. The Stuff That Is Gratifying Is, Like I Said, The Day Of Work And The Doing Of It.

You May Be Sensitive Inside, But What I See On The Outside Is A Soldier.

I Think There's More Pressure To Stand Out In A Way That Is Measurable Externally. The Fame Culture Is Definitely Way Worse And Weirder Than It Was When We Were In High School.

I Personally Was Driven To Be An Actor For The Love Of Telling A Story. It Was Very Closely Linked To Being A Reader As A Kid And Being Transported By Literature And Art. It Had Nothing - Zero - To Do With Anything Resembling Fame.

Actors Should Act. Not Sell Perfume, Or Write Cookbooks.
